    Got my M1009 from Nellis yeterday

    After only a two week wait for my EUC to be approved, and this was my first EUC, I am happy to say I picked up my M1009 from Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. The Gov Liq info said "Runs" and sure enough it fired up after some cranking and a large cloud of white and black smoke. After checking...
